What is the point of playing anymore past the double tempered bazel quest? I have my end game gear and weapon and as far as I can tell this tempered stuff is just a huge grind to get augmentation, which you won't need because you've already taken down the toughest monsters without it. Struggling to find replay value at this point, 4U had me for 280 hours and I still have stuff to do in that, I'm only at 90 here and I'm a little miffed at the lack of content

If you compare every new game to 4U, you’re just going to be perpetually disappointed.

Make peace with the fact that 4U was an outlier, a comically overstuffed double-feature building on top of a huge back catalogue of monsters, maps, and gear that had already been produced at 3DS fidelity levels.

Yeah it's unfair to compare to 4U, but I just can't help but feel like there could've been at least seperate single player and multiplayer content like in past games. That always kept the game alive for me in the down time

This is why we can't "compromise" with the gun control crowd. If the American people allow themselves to become disarmed, we will be at the mercy of the government, who conveniently get to keep there guns. Imagine the worst person you've ever met, and now imagine they have a say over how you live your life. That's what happens with gun control.

This a million times. I'm not a Republican by any stretch of the imagination but I'm honestly shocked how many people are willing to hand over what little power we hold in opposition to the government over to them. There's a reason owning a gun is the 2nd amendment right after free speech, it is CRITICAL to maintaining some semblance of a power balance between people and government. But people are willingly giving that up based on emotion and fear. We cannot play around with this so lightly

What really gets me going about this whole thing is the lack of logical understanding of the 2nd amendment. I see the same people who cry out for guns to be taken from us complain every single day how our government is currently a tyranny that's threatening to take our rights away at every given moment. Like, really? If you truly believe that, why do you want them to take the guns? Why do you trust them to do that in good faith? Makes no sense to me

I have a friend who told me that the current administration is planning on dissolving the EPA and using the funding to create death camps for LGBT people and racial minorities/immigrants yet he also thinks that we should abandon the second amendment. As a transgender woman i have big problem the idea that the government should be trusted to keep me safe because historically speaking it hasn't had the best intentions towards people like me

As you should and I salute you. The government is never to be fully trusted by its citizens, that defines our nation. No matter who is in the administration we NEED the right to defend ourselves if they come after us for one reason or another. I'll be there right along side you if they do

People and the Government need to be more aware of and take reported disturbed individuals more seriously. This guy and the Danny phantom shooter had so many telltale signs, reported and not reported, and nothing was ever done or investigated. We have to keep better tabs on these people.

Increase security at gun free zones. We've all been to school before. For a young guy like this new shooter who looks like a student, walking into the school during the morning is a cakewalk. Even if he wasn't a young guy, the most that's gonna stop you is a chain link fence or an office with like 4-7 unarmed office ladies.

3)start early with teaching people the dangers and responsibility that even touching a gun poses. For a country where owning one is a right, we aren't teaching our populous about them enough.

Crime isn't 100 percent preventable, and ultimately absolutely nothing can truly stop one person from harming others if they really want to. But these shootings often jyst have so many things that failed where I just have to take to a step back and say "How was this allowed to get like this?"

AR-15 is lightweight and is easy to shoot, which makes it a very versatile weapon not only for fun at the shooting range, but as an option for self defense. I would much rather have one in my home for self defense over a handgun, simply because if I had a wife or daughter, it'd be way easier for them to handle with a higher success rate. Aside from that, they are used for hunting and what's the point of having the guns that 2a let's us use in self defense should the government ever take a turn for the worst if they have all the good stuff and we're all stuck with handguns

It's tricky because I'm not sure much even needs to be done. I'm all for extra mental health checks if that is something people decide needs to happen but beyond that the only thing I can think of is higher security at these weapon free places. We've all been to school, the only barrier between a criminal and the school grounds is a small plastic link or chain link fence or an office full of like 4-8 unarmed mostly female adults. Even if you forego hopping the fence, a vastly easier method, what is that front office gonna do if I walk in there with a gun? Even worse, the connecting door to the schoolground isn't even locked or secured, you could waltz right in no problem, especially if the lady at the desk is attending to something. I've thought security at these places needs to be beefed up big time for a long time. To a maniac a school is just such an easy target.

Yup, an old monster people use to use it for was Akantor (this giant fire lizard) he'd use a red hot laser beam from across the stage, and it was REALLY hard to avoid, so folks would just superman dive into it lol. Feels like the only way to avoid it as of right now.

Give this a listen. If that's the clicking sound you hear, your hard drives have all died. For all of them at the same time, I'd say it's more than likely some sort of a power surge. A surge protector doesn't do anything if you don't have a properly grounded plug.

As all three died within such a short period of time of each other, it would only be logical to think that the culprit is the same for all three. Anything else would be astronomically unlikely, and I can only think of two things that would damage all the PS4's in such a manner.

Either they all got damaged [bumped] when transported [or dropped etc]. When transporting the PS4 [or any other sensitive electronics] they should be in their original packaging, or equivalent as they are really prone to get damaged if not.

Or they all suffered the damage because of dirty power. There are many different kinds of dirty power, and are not always that noticeable. It can for example turn off a computer but leave the TV and other electronics seemingly unaffected.

As the PS3 is also "acting weird", I would bet on dirty power being the culprit here.

So I've recently started the game, and I've run into some difficulty (of course). I've been stuck at the same part for like 2 hours. It's the big square in Central Yarnham with the mob blocking the road to the stairs on the other side. I get that I'm supposed to pick them off one by one, but I can't ever get to the guy with the rifle overlooking the area. Is it normal to be stuck on a part for this long, or am I more trash than usual?

I was in your same position when the game first came out. Throw out the idea that all enemies must be killed unless you're a sadist. Running past them is the safest and easiest way to do it, it's just not worth bothering with, especially for new players who haven't made it to the boss yet and can't level up. Just a waste of time killing them until you unlock leveling up

C uses pass-by-value semantics. When you pass a variable as a parameter to a function, its value will remain unchanged after the function call. The way you pass in choice, choice1, and choice2 is unnecessary, as their values are not changed after intro(...) exits. To do what you're trying to do, you would need to pass in a pointer to these elements (note - it's still using pass-by-value semantics; however, by passing in the address of a variable, we can modify it within a function call).

Additionally, there are a few other issues you might want to address.

You use multiple if statements to check the user input. A more idiomatic way to do this in C (if you're comparing against constant expressions) is to use a switch statement.

You don't validate the parameters you read in using scanf. If the user doesn't enter an integer, you're using bad values.

While your use of recursion is clever, it may be better to use a loop instead. This way, it is clear exactly what portion of the code need be repeated. Additionally, it would get rid of a potential bug for compilers that don't offer tail call optimization, which could result in a stack overflow error. Lastly, it helps with maintainability. Namely, you might want to refactor this code in the future so that some initialization js done first in intro(...), and then the user input is queried. Since you currently recurse, you might make a second call to something you intended to be run once.

I just bought Doom VFR today and tried playing with the motion controls....I hated it. I was struggling really bad with the simple act of orienting the characters body in certain directions. To be fair I have to sit down for my VR games and I think they intend you to stand...but all I really needed was for two of the face buttons to turn the position of the camera like it does in Rec Room. Then the controls would have been completely fine.

I had to switch to the DS4, which turns the game into a way more fun and fast paced REAL fps with precision aiming. But...I really miss the move aiming controls for the guns, felt really cool.

I really don't understand why the move controllers don't have a thumbstick on them like Wii Nunchuks. It would really solve A LOT of limitations of VR right now in regards to movement and camera control

Sony figured "hey, we already have this peripheral that sorta/kinda works" and they might not have been thinking that smooth locomotion would be something that a lot of people could handle in the near future.

I run a one on one campaign over Twitter dms with a friend. For one boss that bends the laws of reality, I would copy and past dialogue over and over again with minor subtle changes that drastically ramped up, used my DM powers to makes impossible things reality such as describing his target as something else than what it was last turn, and having the scene change when he blinks.

I even went as far as to role play the boss by sending him real text messages, eerie pictures, and calls from a blocked number to emphasize that the boss can control and bend the d&d reality and all others. He loved it and it was a fun and unique way to use and abuse the descriptive and reality bending powers of DMing

To DMs, What have been your experiences with using pictures to supplement your descriptions of characters or environments? Does it slow down the game or does it enhance the players' understanding of the situation? Does it feel awkward to bring up a printed or digital image or does it help you overall?

I've had this problem (and have it currently), and usually with more nervous/insecure players.

If they're constantly defaulting to NPC knowledge... give the NPCs less knowledge.

By that I mean, the town's Captain of the Guard definitely knows the names of the guards on his payroll, but not where they're at every hour of the day. How's he supposed to know which guard was seen in that alleyway where the murder that is under investigation took place?

By the same token, it's totally fine to say "I have no idea" if they would actually have no idea.

Players walk into a tavern, looking for the last known location of a person of interest.

"Hey, bartender, do you know who this person is/where this person was?"

"Nope, can't say I do. I see a lot of faces and that doesn't look like one of my regulars." or "Yeah, I've seen him around the bar."

Allow the NPCs to give the players INFORMATION, but not ANSWERS. Allow them to give them SUGGESTIONS, but not ORDERS. I mean, at your discretion, sometimes you might legitimately want your NPCs to give direct exposition.

1) First of all, please use fclose() right after you need the file (so after the for loop with the fscanf). Keep stuff opened is never a good idea, if not needed.

2) Don't use all that if-else, for a simple check like that: a simple switch is enough.

3) Even better, you can have one printf() statement that prints out the count variable, avoiding the if-else or the switch.

4) I'm not going to give you the solution but a hint: you can check with the same for loop if all the elements are present, but IF you find AT LEAST one number out-of-sequence, well... it's an "error", right?

I'm doing the same project OP is and i've been trying to decode this hint for hours. I know exactly that we have to compare the elements between the given array and the user guesses but I cannot get this into code form. every attempt ends up with the program outputing that none pf the keys are correct and I just dont know why besides count not incrementing correctly, and I can't find anything in the code that is preventing count from incrementing. My code is near exact to OP's. any extra hints?

You do the first scanf(), then what's the first thing to check?
You check if the first element if sorted_array[] is equal to your variable.

If yes, count++.

If not, you only need to decode the "error": if the variable is in the wrong order, you print "keys are correct, but...", if it's already used you print "each key once", if it isn't present, "Wrong key".

Everything you said was super helpful, but how does the if(guess[j] == sorted_array[i]) after the scanf check for the placement in the array? The program runs but is only checking to see if the first number in the sorted array is correct and then not checking everything else. Also, if the above if statement is true, how would you write another if statement to check if both arrays are completely equivalent? sorry for asking so much, been googling all weekend and can't find anything similar

Definitely go with computer science. A lot of the game design course and digital humanities course are pretty....worthless. I've been peeking in on my roommate doing them and I honestly can't believe some of these are classes. Way better pay and job security in CS

How about black. I really never even understood the whole African American thing. Most black people I know aren't African and the remaining arent American. In fact, the only African person I've ever known was white. I don't understand why we gotta dance around race so hard. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc. What's so wrong with that

I'm sorry for saying this but honestly, I play games like this to escape reality and having politics and crime shoved in my face 24/7. If he did it I hope they can find out and prosecute accordingly but coming into hobbies to make a call to action for justice from the hobby goers is just annoying and divides communities between the people who want to be constantly involved in social action and the people who just want to play a game. I appreciate where you're coming from and maybe I'm out of line for suggesting what goes down in subreddit, but coming off Twitter, Facebook, television, and radio just to have this stuff shoved in my face again at my hobby honestly makes me want to quit. This community has been a great escape and I don't want to see it go down the path that video gaming did a few years ago.
